Patented Nov. 28, 1933 I UNITED STATES i -1;93 6 f' UNIVERSAL 'wosxnomme n'rrracinvmiv'r ,ronvrsns; v wiuiaiafn neai, s e s s Application November 9,1932.1,sriai,1-i; 1;9q4@ i 2 Claims. (o1. 81-38) I This invention relates to an improved workholding attachment for Vises, and the primary object of the present invention is to provide a device of this kind by means of which the work fi holder proper may be readily turned or tilted to any desired adjusted position relative to the vise jaws and held with the desired security in such position, for most eificiently presenting the work to the operator for facilitating operation thereon.
More particularly, the present invention aims to provide a simpleand .efiicient attachment by means of which an ordinary vise. may be converted into an efficient work holder for use by jewelers, engravers, and other craftsmen, and
constructed in-accordance with the present invention operatively associated'with the jaws of a vise; and Figure 2 is a horizontal section on line 2-2 of Figure 1.
. 'Referring in detail to the drawing, 5 indicates the opposed jaws of anordinary or conventional bench or machine vise which have opposed vertical faces, and which are suitably-adjustable to-. ward and from each other in a well known manner. The present invention includes a ball member 6 preferably formed of hardened steel, and carrying a suitable work-holder '7. Mounted on the faces of the jaws 5 of the, vise so as to be incapable of turning relative to said jaws, are a pair of opposed disks or plates 8 having segmentospherical recesses 9 in the inner faces thereof to receive the opposite sides of the ball member 6 and thereby form a socket for said ball member 6 in which the latter is capable of substantially universal adjustment. Obviously, by adjusting the vise jaws 5 toward each other, the disks 8 will be brought into tight gripping engagement with aopposite sides of the ball member 6 so as to effectively retain it in any adjusted position relative to the vise jaws, the work-holder 7 being correspondingly held in adjusted position. By varying the degree of adjustment of the jaws 5 toward each other, the rigidity with which the ball member Sis held against adjustment may be 6 and work-holder 7 relative .to the disks 8, may
be had by adjusting the vise jaws 5 toward'each other so thatsaid disks 8 do not tightly grip the opposite sides'of ball member 6. At the same time, by adjusting the vise jaws 5 toward each other so that the ball member 6 is tightly gripped between the disks 8, positive prevention of accidental movement of the ball member 6 and work-holder 7 is had. To facilitate frictional resistance to movement of ball member 6 when not tightly gripped between disks 8, the "latter are preferably made of relatively soft metal.
Any suitable means'may be provided for mounting the disks 8 on the faces of the vise jaws 5 against turningrelative to the latter. As. shown,
this means consists of a metal bar or framelo of U-shape which connects the disks 8 and which has outturned end flanges .11 adapted" to rest upon the vise jaws 5 as clearly shown, thedisks 8 being suitably provided rigid with and upon the inner sidesof the legs of the frame member i i l ss.
The work-holder '7' may be anyone of several kinds now in use to hold different kinds of work, or may be speciallyl designed. As shown, it embodies a relatively large horizontal plate having a depending stem. 12 whose reducedlower end is removably threaded into an upstanding -tubu-; ,lar shank 13 rigid with ball member 6. The wide contacting surfaces of the larger upper end of stem 12 and the upper end of shank 13 present sufiicient friction to prevent accidental turning of stem 12 and work-holder -'7frelative.tov the shank 13 when stem 12'is'entirely'threaded into shank 13. V
From-the foregoing description, it will be. understood that the work-holder 7 may consist of a plate, vise, clamp, stud, or other appliance.
As will be apparent, the work-holdercan be readily assembled in proper relation to theball member'fi and then quickly and easily placed in position between the vise jaws 5 so as'to be supported by the latter as shown in Figure 1-. Al,-
though simple in-construction, the present attachment is positive and durable. The ball member. 6-being made of hardened steel, and the socket-forming disks 8 being made of relatively soft metal, insures a positive grip and long service. It is to be understood that the term ball member as used herein, is intended to cover a complete ball, a part of a ball, or any like member suitable for use as the male member of a engage the faces of said vise jaws, disks carried on the inner sides of the legs of said frame and provided with concave-sphericalrecesses in "the inner faces thereof, a ball member arranged between and having its opposite sides received within the recesses of said disks, said ball member 1 having a shank rigid therewith and projecting therefrom, and a work-holder carried by said" shank;
2. A universal work-holding attachment for vises comprising a U-shaped frame having outturned flanges arranged to rest upon the jaws of a vise, the legs of said frame being arranged.
to engage the faces of said vise jaws, disks carried on the inner sides of the legs of said frame and provided with concave-sphericalrecesses 1n the inner faces thereof, a ball member arranged I between'and having its opposite sldeswreceived within the recesses of said disks, said ball member having a shank rigid therewith and projecting therefrom, and a work-holder carried by said shank said shank being of hollow form, and said work holder h aving a projecting threaded stem.
detachably engaged in said shank.
